A structural, informative and/or decorative balloon display is comprised
of a plurality of connected, inflatable chambers formed by a plurality of
die applications to a plurality of layers of film. The largest die
application produces a set of seals that encompasses an area smaller than
the area encompassed by all such sets of seals. In one preferred
embodiment connected chambers have and maintain fluid communication. In
another preferred embodiment, connected, inflatable chambers have no
fluid communication but have a beginning and an end. In other preferred
embodiments fluid communication is terminated after inflation. Other
embodiments take advantage of variations of numbers of layers,
configurations of layers, and treatment of surfaces to create special
balloon forms.
